4 Year in Review Throughout 2015, the Chamber worked extremely hard to support our community through seven portfolios established in Each of these portfolios was designed to bring significant economic and social benefits to the Sooke region in both the short and long terms. To review, the portfolios are: - Economic Development - Conference and Convention Management - Resident Relocation - Newcomers Club - Shop Local Campaign - Workforce Development - Website, Social Media and Internet Marketing Campaign These portfolios were created after intensive consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders including the District of Sooke, the Mayor s Advisory Panel on Economic Development, the Mayor s Promote Sooke Task Force, the CRD, the Sooke Region Tourism Association, the Sooke Rotary Club, Sooke Community Association, Sooke Family Resource Centre, T Sou-ke First Nation, Sooke Transition Town Society, Sooke CHI, several Vancouver Island Chambers of Commerce and many local business owners and residents of Sooke. In addition to the business-centric events hosted by the Chamber such as the long standing Business Excellence Awards and the new Women in Business Tea as well as the community focused events such as the Santa Parade and the All Candidates Meeting, the Chamber delivered several successes within these seven portfolios including: Learning on the Edge Sooke Region Learning Collaborative, an initiative spearheaded by the Chamber, which touches upon both economic, and workforce development. Economic Development Symposium Resident Relocation Package Growth of the Newcomer s Club to 70 members Shop Local Code of Ethics A four page feature on Sooke in the Island Visitor Magazine The Chamber worked diligently with its limited resources to build upon the previous years advancements and positioned itself well to continue the momentum into Page 2
5 Operational Plan The Chamber s focus throughout 2015 was on the development and implementation of initiatives which would bring significant economic and social benefits to the Sooke region in both the short and long terms.

9 Conclusion The past year has been extremely busy for the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce. There have been many tangible successes, which have come largely from the dedicated efforts of our volunteer Board of Directors who have averaged over 150 hours per month towards furthering our community s economic and social interests. Important to note these accomplishments could not have been possible without the support of one full-time professional staff who handles all the dayto-day administrative and operational services in the Chamber office. Going forward, to achieve our operational plan and the individual execution items the Board of Directors chooses to commit to for 2016, the Board will be mindful of vetting all its actions through the following four questions: 1. Are we creating tangible value for businesses in Sooke and the community as a whole? 2. Is there an opportunity to collaborate to increase our impact? 3. Have we engaged in meaningful dialogue with our members and strategic partners? 4. Will it be Wild by Nature? With these four questions guiding our actions, we believe we will be able to focus our efforts to bring about the most value a localized economic development and member services plan could effect in the course of one year. We are pleased that the portfolios identified in 2014 were successfully built upon and significantly advanced throughout We look forward to furthering our successes with the renewed support of the District of Sooke, business community, and community at large and fostering our partnerships with each.
